I have an 88 Mazda RX-7 convertible. I've owned the car since 1993. I love it just the way it is it's black on black top in excellent condition and rides like a very fast go kart. I've driven it in the mountains perfectly sporty and I've driven it down long stretches of freeway to the tune of 120 until that got airborne and turned into an airplane. all you Mazda RX-7 enthusiasts eat your heart out.

Hey Dino, I really appreciate your comment. I'm 18 and a university student right now. I really like cars and I'm into them since I was 3 years old or something. If everything goes well in my life I'd like do my master in Australia and If I do I'll definitely come to Japan too. Japan is my favourite country. If I come there sometime in my life I'd definitely like to meet with you and Alexi(Noriyaro) too.

I was 18 too, Had same plans as you. Fast forward 10 years- still lives in EU, have daughter, owns rusty NA GC8 and even more rusty K11. Have no time to fix them. Also I shouldn't even be here beacuse I have to get up at 5:00 to work

Probably the true ending but I'll try to achieve it anyways. I live in Turkey and I assure you that you can't even imagine how the cars in my country/tuning scene is pretty riced out and almost anti-tuner because of our economy is pretty shit unless you are the son of an millionaire. Thank you for your comment.

p.s: Yeah, he didn't upload anything to his youtube channel recently. And sorry if I made pretty bad grammar mistakes, English isn't my mother tounge.

I have no doubt it is a great car with its new engine, but there are only so many rotary-powered RX-7's in the world, and every year a few get totaled and a few more get swapped. They're becoming an endangered species!

A good thing for those that stick with them. In the grand scheme of things that percentage would be minute still. Whatever America does with V8s the Japanese, Aussies and Kiwis will keep that average of Wankels high!

Well yeah.. They take something unique and replace it with something as common (albeit reliable) as a toyota camry. I can't say I don't see where the controversy comes from, it's kinda obvious. LS swaps illicit eyerolls from internet viewers, and when you couple that with the loss of a rotary after say... 30k miles it makes people feel a certain type of way.

Two words: star livery. Glad to see this trend coming back. Aside from that, it looks like a complete setup, with all the wiring, plumbing, and accessories. Looks just as woefully complicated and expertly packaged as any other 90s jdm sportscar. Excellent build overall, and I'd love to see it in action.

Hugely impressive build. But just can't hit the spot without a rotary. Different - yet the same as everyone else with the turbo LS and works against what should make this car great. However each to themselves and once again - impressive car.

Lots of comments always objecting to rotary Mazdas without their rotaries. A sacrilege to the dyed in the wool Rotarians. What I'd like to know is how many Mazda rotaries have made into other makes, non-Mazdas? Let's see, I really think Mazda rotaries have been transplanted more times in other cars than rotaries getting replaced by piston motors. This FC must be a real rush to drive. 1,000 HP?
